Apostelkirche

The Apostelkirche is a modern church building in Bocholt featuring a high wooden ceiling made from untreated materials that display their natural colors throughout. The structure relies on exposed beams that support the open interior design.

The building was constructed in 1963 in response to population shifts following World War II, when German-speaking people from Eastern Europe settled in the Bocholt region. The new structure was built to serve the growing community.

The stained glass windows display biblical scenes, including the story of Jonah in the baptismal area. These artistic works shape how the space feels and invite reflection.

The entrance is located at Biemenhorster Weg 15, and the church welcomes visitors, especially during regular services and community activities. Plan your visit around service times to experience the space when it serves its congregation.

The bell tower houses five bells cast by the Rincker foundry, each named after evangelists and the Apostle Paul. These bells give the structure a distinctive acoustic character that shapes the soundscape of the neighborhood.
